The search for a Casey County man who shot at police during a traffic stop on Wednesday, March 25, ended after he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday, according to Kentucky State Police.

Joe Mattingly III served as the Marion County attorney for more than 24 years and has been operating his own law firm in Lebanon for 18 years. But, what many people don’t know is that he almost played Major League Baseball.
Well, sort of.
“I was convinced until I got to high school that I was going to play second base for the Cincinnati Reds,” Joe said, laughing. “I was absolutely certain of that.”

The pomp may have been lower key, but the circumstance was just as important to the seven most recent graduates of the GED program at the Marion County Detention Center.
David Nelson, 36, was the first person at the jail to earn his GED after the implementation of a computer-only testing system.
"It's been 20 years since I dropped out of school. It was not easy," Nelson said.
For him, completing the GED, along with the substance abuse program at the jail, is a new step in his life.
